    Masterbuilt Propane Smoker WILL NOT STAY LIT

    I have a 1 1/2 year old MB 20050716 Masterbuilt Propane smoker with the glass door. It worked fine for about 4 smokes, but now, it will not stay lit. When I go to start it, i push in the selector and turn it counterclockwise to high like it saves. When I hit the igniter it roars to life, and...

    Spatchcocked chickern and baby back ribs

    I am planning to cook 3 chickens and 2 racks of ribs on Sunday for my son's 40th birthday. I've got the 3-2-1 ribs done great, but I cannot find my smoked chicken directions. If I smoke them both at the same time at 240 degrees, how long will the chickens take? I have a Real Smokey Joes smoker...

    Eastern NC Pulled Pork

    I am originally from Eastern NC and love my pork BBQ. I have used Boston Butts for most of my smokes and they have all come out well. I tried several picnics because in NC they cut up a little skin and put it in with the BBQ and I love it that way,. My skin has always been too tough to cut into...

    A Super PORK butt

    I started with a 9 1/2 lb Pork butt and spread mustard on it to hold the rub. I then applied Jeff's rub and saran wrapped it overnight. I came home from work early and prepped the Oklahoma Joe smoker to 235 degrees and loaded that pretty butt on. She smoked for 8 hours until bed time. I then...

    Jeff's Rum Injected Ham

    I tried the buttered rum injected ham that was in the smoking meat newsletter last week, and it was superb.    I followed the directions and pre injected a 9 lb ham with the butter/rum/brown sugar mixture. My only problem came was with the injecting because the ham would clog the injector...

    Smokin' a small pork butt - how do they differ from the BIG Butts?

    I have only smoked 9 to 10# butts and I found a 3.5# at the grocery store yesterday. I was wondering if I could get cooked a lot quicker that the big ones. I also have always cooked at 220 to 240 for my butts. Will it be as tender with the higher temp of 275-285. I plan to pull it at 195 to 200...

    Floyd from SoMD (Southern Maryland)

    Just a note to say SMF is a remarkable wealth of great people and an immense amount of knowledge. We SoMD folks never say just "Maryland" because we do not want to be confused with the Baltimore and Annapolis crowds. We identify a little better with the Eastern Shore and Western MD.  I live in a...

    Good smoker for the money

    I have 2 Webers: 1 charcoal and 1 Genesis Gas, BUT I really want a smoker. I am looking at the Oklahoma Joe as an offset smoker if you folks like it! I had a Kamado from Japan long before the BGE was ever marketed and we loved it, but it was hard to keep stoked for 8 to 10 hours. Is there any...
